Is it permissible to pay for the internet subscription of the mosque’s imam, which he uses to prepare lessons and sermons and to serve students of knowledge, from the mosque’s funds if he would be harmed by paying for it from his personal money?

Funds endowed for a specific entity, such as a mosque, may not be spent on anything other than their designated interests. Therefore, it is not permissible to pay for an internet subscription from mosque funds, as preparing lessons and sermons from the internet can be forgone by preparing them from books and electronic libraries.
